2x-5y=14

3x+2y=40
what is the solve of xy ?

1 answer

In English, do you mean how do you solve for x and y?

multipy the top equation by 2, and the bottom equation by 5

4x-10y=28
15x+10y=200

then add the equations...
19x+0y=228
divide each side by 19
x=228/19=12
Now go back to either of the original equations, but 12 in for x, and solve for y.
